Hello everyone.
This is Mike's(Clobby) son.
As of typing this Mike is still in the ICU recovering from his cardiac arrest and fall yesterday.
It's unclear if or how he will recover from this but I want to thank you all for the well wishes from so many friends fans and family. 1/2
To see the amount of people come out and send their love to him makes me proud to be his son.
Updates on his condition and the future of his show will be posted as soon as we know more.
Thank you all! 2/2
One of his last messages he wrote to someone online was “Live long and prosper.” And I am sure that is what he wants for all of us. He was a real hero.
My pal, known to geekdom as The Great Mark C. loved John Byrne. I too love much of Byrne's work, but, have been a critical of some of his stuff. Mark and I used to tangle about it in a friendly way every now and then. Wish we could've kept that argument going forever, buddy! 😥
@Nerdrotics
Indeed! The "message" crap is so thick that it's just impossible to enjoy the good stuff. Nice bits are drowned by agenda trash! Not surprising, just disappointing. As a DW fan of 41 years, it would have been nice to have one more fun adventure for the 60th, but, alas...😣🖖
CLOBBERIN' COMICS MEMORIES: I'm not the biggest Wolverine fan. But, I once thought it would be cool for him to have his own comic. In 1982, Chris Claremont & Frank Miller did this classic 4 issue mini series. I was 18, running a comic shop. The excitement was REAL! Good times!🖖
@EricDJuly
She couldn't even get the cover right.😆 That's the recent Marvel True Believers reprint from a couple of years ago. This is the proper cover. 👇
Can't show all that love to my Silver Age Legion Of Super-Heroes, without directing some at my equally beloved Bronze Age Legion. LSH circa 1982(ish) by the Great George Perez. In alphabetical order, no less. L.L.L. 🙂
@Nerdrotics
Only saw the first episode so far and it sucked ass! No different from the first 2 seasons so far. Same tone and feel. Starts with Beverly Crusher in a stupid shoot out. Lots of cringe. Lots of crap dialogue throughout. Same dark, dystopia drivel. More Raffi. UGH. 🖖
If shows that have virtually NOTHING to do with their titular character and are filled with pretentious, boring bullshit instead of the exciting, thrilling action and adventure one expects from the superhero genre: then, BOY HOWDY, DISNEY- HAS THE SHOW FOR YOU: MOON KNIGHT! 😴
THANK YOU ALL, MY DEAR FRIENDS for helping my channel get to 1K subs. I can hardly find the words right now. I'm not worthy, but, I'M truly Grateful and humbled by your kindness!
What a WONDERFUL group of friends you are! I must get myself together before I comment further. 🖖
I say this with a heavy heart, My father passed away peacefully in his sleep. He is a legend in the art world and it would be my honor to follow in his footsteps. Please keep your thoughts and condolences here out of respect for my family.
He was the greatest man I ever met.
Today would have been the 80th birthday of a GREAT ACTOR who played one of THE GREATEST characters ever on TV: AVON on the Brilliant BBC SF Series, BLAKE'S SEVEN! The EXTRAORDINARY PAUL DARROW!
He wasn't just a Great actor: he was wonderful to his fans! R.I.P. GOOD SIR!!! 🖖
Evidently, DC Comics doesn't like anyone thinking that they endorse a belief in God.
Note: page from DC Comics Presents
#29
(1981) page 15 "God" speaks to Superman and The Spectre.
Top: 1981 original issue.
Bottom: DC App (and it's the same on ComiXology) page 16 also. 🤔
@BriannaWu
1. The 1st in MAINSTREAM comics.
2. That's not even the proper cover. It's the "True Believers" reprint from a couple of years ago.
Here is the ACTUAL COVER to LUKE CAGE: HERO FOR HIRE

HA HA HA! Don't know how I did it, since I never followed and certainly never interacted with the little twerp; but, I'm blocked by everyone's favorite overrated hack, Terry MatalASS!
Badge of honor! QAPLA! 🖖
Never Forget who Batman's TRUE CREATOR was: Bill Finger! Born on this day, 1914.
Best way to remember him is to take a look at 2 examples of what Bats would be without him. Thanks, Bill. R.I.P.
He may well be the last of the Silver/Bronze Age Greats. His Spider-Man was my favorite, but, he did so much more.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, JOHN ROMITA SR. You will never be forgotten. 😥
This is the level of "writing" at Marvel Comics today. Ben Grimm gets dressed down by a mutant SJW whilst guesting on a talk show in his new mini series. I'm sure you're shocked. 🤷♂️
Scintillating, excitement from the "House Of Ideas".

Broke my "no action figure rule" (actually it's more of a guideline) again.😬 Not a fan of NECA. But, I never thought I'd see an Alex Raymond accurate Flash Gordon. This one is amazing! 🖖
Recent reads: some random dashes of comic book brilliance; Kurt Busiek's Astro City! I've gone on about this Great title since its debut in 1995, so, obviously, I've read these classics before. Still, it's been a while. And, DAMN, they are every bit as brilliant as I remember!
1st ep of PeeHard Season 3 gave me no reason to believe anything has changed. It's the same dark, ugly universe that bares no resemblance to Real Trek. Bleak, hopeless tone, still there. As is the crappy dialogue and characterization grape. Nothing to see here. Move along. 💩🤮🖖
We’re sad to report the passing of Sally Kellerman, best remembered by Trek fans for her role as Dr. Elizabeth Dehner in Trek’s second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before”, and as a guest at many Star Trek conventions. Rest easy, Ms. Kellerman.
I would like to thank Gary
@Nerdrotics
for being on Monday Night Mark C Comics Talk! I had a FANTASTIC TIME talking comics other geek stuff with him! You ROCK GARY! If you missed it, you can catch it here! CLOBBER ON, MY FRIENDS! 🖖
Breaking: Shang Chi is the first movie in film history ever to feature an Asian actor in a lead role. Also, the first time an Asian actor isn't there to get "Beaten Up A Main Character"
So, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li etc. Those guys got their arses kicked? Hmm.🤔
Apologies to my friends who showed up at CLOBBERIN' TIME(S) MONDAY NIGHT MARK C. COMICS TALK tonight. Don't remember programming it. Like many down my way, I've been displaced by Hurricane Ida. I'm not home, because I have no power. Be back...eventually.
CLOBBER ON, pals!🖖
I am VERY PROUD and HONORED to be hosting The GREAT GARY BUECHLER of The GREAT NERDROTIC Channel Tonight; 9PM CST (10PM EST) For Some Comic Shop (and other geek) Talk!
I lack the words to adequately express how unbelievably IDIOTIC, MORONIC, utterly RIDICULOUS episode 2 of What If...? is. Didn't care much for Episode 1, agreed with many of the criticisms aimed at it. The 2nd Episode...HOLY SHIT...that was FAR WORSE!
What an EMBARRASSMENT 🤮👎
Cast member of The Acolyte: "The best thing about Star Wars is that there is no good or evil."
Errr what ?! Have these people ever watched Star Wars ?? 🤦🏼♀️
#StarWarsCelebration
One thing I'll say about Thor: Stolen Thunder: it was definitely filmed and played on movie screens. No question about that. Popcorn bucket, not cheap, and hardly worthy, as a container for a full feature length sitting. Holds about as much Popcorn as the movie holds..:CENSORED:
One of the Greatest birthday presents I've ever gotten and officially my FIRST bit of Blake's Seven paraphernalia: (only been a fan for 35+ years) 3D printed teleport bracelet. "Down and safe!" Made by an old friend. Love it! AVON LIVES!
I actually drove to a comic shop with the intention of purchasing a new Marvel comic...and did so. An actual new, non-reprint Marvel comic. On purpose. Weird. Haven't done that in...umm, what century is this? 🤔
Yeah, I'm as shocked as you are. Not to mention embarrassed. 😩
